Seriously.

Quit trying to cheap your way out. Spend the extra few dollars and put premium in, no matter what. Like Bio stated earlier, the manufacturer doesn't put octane ratings in the owners manual for sh1ts and giggles. There's even a sticker inside your gas cap saying "PREMIUM ONLY" - You should probably listen to that.

These car's are prone to KR. Especially stock, since the front manifolds breathe no better than a coffee straw. My car saw 7* KR completely stock on 93. You want to run 91 or 93 at all times to lower the amount of KR you have. Since it is your biggest enemy.

Here how about this, run 87, beat the sh1t out of it and tell us what happens later on.

A lot of us know what we are talking about and have been in the 3800 scene since it started well over a decade+ ago. Take out word for it, and run Premium. Quit trying to be cheap. If you want to run 87, get a N/A car.

I'm not going the cheap way out,I just put premium in it,I won't hurt my car I'll do it right lol,i don't care to spend the extra money to put premium in,I just wanted to know what everybody thought that's why I started this thread,I'm sticking to premium for now on,I don't won't to hurt them,if you treat them right they will treat you right,does the same apply for 3.8 na or just sc?

I'm pretty sure modern cars don't need the "soot" or "carbon" blown out of them. I use it as a joke sometimes.

**94grandprix** · 12-04-2013

That's what I say as a excuse to get on it

**GTPpower** · 12-04-2013

If you drive like a grandma, put in 87. If you drive like Richard Petty, put in premium.

What I'm saying is if you add headers and a cam... you can tune it for 87 on the stock pulley.
It'd probably make pretty good power too.

on most modern cars its more important because there direct injected meaning the intake valves are wet with gas so the carbon just builds up and causes all kind of problems.

That isn't direct injection.
